Today we celebrated reading in Year One! We all had an incredible time!
First thing we had an assembly lead by Gangsta Granny (aka Mr Wilks). We learnt all about the joy of reading and how we can spend our £1 book token! Some teachers also read parts from their favourite books.
After wake up shake up Year 3 came to visit and we shared some of our favourite books with them. They read to us and we read to them. It was such a wonderfully calm atmosphere.
After breaktime, we had a webinar with John Patrick Green – author of the Investigators books. We listened to how he creates the books and had a go at drawing some of the characters. The drawings were very impressive!
In the afternoon, we looked at some of the books the children had brought in to match their costumes. We loved reading all the different types of books.
Throughout the day we also read as many other books as possible. Which one was your favourite?
Help at home by discussing the activities your child has done today and looking at the free books they can buy with their £1 book token.
